About the service area

Commercial electrical work in Houston Heights, TX

The Heights is a mix most electricians underestimate — historic bungalows and craftsman homes with original 60A–150A services, new construction infill on every other lot, a White Oak and 19th Street retail corridor that runs tenant finish-out year-round, and a commercial strip along I-10 and 610 that never slows down. Solivance Electric runs the Heights corridor daily from the 77045 shop, pulling City of Houston permits, coordinating CenterPoint cut-overs, and handling the HAHC (Houston Archaeological and Historical Commission) overlay where it applies on Heights historic district addresses.

Google review
I definitely recommend Solivance Electric to anyone looking for a great, honest electrician. I cannot say enough good things about this company. After being without power for two days after Hurricane Beryl, we reached out wanting a generator interlock installed. Solivance Electric came out that very same day — they had worked through the night to get to everyone else needing the same. They made it clear they were prioritizing homes with children and pets. Aside from the interlock, they found other issues in the panel that could have caused a fire. These are my go-to guys from here on.

Permits & inspections

The Heights corridor is City of Houston AHJ — permits through the Houston Permitting Center, inspections on the city portal. Heights historic district addresses fall under HAHC overlay for exterior work (service mast relocation, exterior conduit routing) and we handle that submission as part of the scope. CenterPoint Energy is the utility.

The permit is our scope. We file, meet the inspector, and hand you the passed tag.

The Heights questions, answered

Do you work Heights historic district addresses under HAHC overlay?+
Yes. Service mast relocation, meter placement, and exterior conduit routing on HAHC-protected addresses need a certificate of appropriateness before permitting. We handle the HAHC submission as part of the scope — no passing that paperwork back to the homeowner.
Can you upgrade the 60A/100A services common on older Heights bungalows?+
Routinely. Most 1920s–1940s Heights homes are on original or mid-century services that cannot carry a modern kitchen, mini-split HVAC, and EV charger on the same day. The typical upgrade path is 60A → 200A with a new meter loop, main panel, and dedicated circuits for the kitchen and HVAC. Inspection passes the first walk.
Do you handle tenant finish-out for Heights retail and restaurant spaces?+
Yes. White Oak, 19th Street, Studewood, and the Heights Mercantile corridor get regular tenant finish-out scope — panel sizing, sub-panels, hood and kitchen equipment circuits, data/POS rough-in, and final inspection tied to the opening date.
Do you cover Garden Oaks, Oak Forest, and Timbergrove too?+
Yes — same route. Older mid-century homes across Garden Oaks and Oak Forest have the same panel-upgrade demand as the Heights proper, and Timbergrove sees steady whole-home generator and EV install work.
